Prairie City Potato Cutter. 



The Prairie City Potato Cutter will cut po- 

 tatoes for seed faster than seven or eight 

 men can by hand. 



DIRECTIONS. 



Cut one potato at a time. If the 

 lever suggests some other way. you 

 can, by two screws, take it off and 

 change it by mak- 

 ing it longer, or by 

 making the paddle 

 smaller or larger 

 or you can leave it 

 off and usea wood- 

 en mallet. Be care- 

 ful not to press or 

 strike harder than 

 sufficient to drive 

 the potato down. A 

 little experience 

 will determine the 

 force required.
